Mar 15, 2019 at 16:22 comment added Neal Quick sketch for why $h$ should be achieved by a cross-section in the neck part. Let $h_E = |E|/\min(A,B)$ for separating hypersurfaces $E$, with $A\cup B = M$ and $\partial A = \partial B = E$. Then $h = \inf_E h_E$. Since $h_{S\times 0} \to 0$, then $h$ must be achieved by a subsurface that enters the neck. Then show if a subsurface $E$ crosses between $M$ and the neck, it must have area that grows with a power of $T$, so $h_E$ will go as something like $1/\sqrt{T}$. That leaves subsurfaces contained within the neck, which have $h\sim 1/T$.

slightly better upper bound
